is constant and by no means Insignia
cant aggregation to the earth's mass go
ing on from year to year, as it has been
going on for countless ages. Mostly those
celestial visitors are seen and recognized
as shooting stars or meteors, which may
be seen almost any evening, but notably
in August and November, when occur the
periodical meteor showers. 1t is only
when the aerolites are so large that they
are not consumed in their passage through
our atmosphere and fall to earth In larger
or smaller masses, like the one reported
to have fallen on the northern borders Of
Maine, that they become especially note
worthy. Aerolites have been known to
fall and have been found since the ear
lest time.
About the oldest known specimen is
one weighing 260 pounds, which fell at
Alsace in 1892, which is still preserved in
the church at Fnsisheim. The largest
masses on record were found about II
years ago on the west coast of Greenland
by the Swedish Arctic expedition. There
is now in the collection Of the Royal
Academy of Stockholm one Of them
which weighs rs tons, and the museum
Of Copenhagen has another weighing 10
tons. In the British Museum is one
weighing five tons and in the museum at
st. Petersburg one Of 1885 pounds. The
Smithsonian institution at Washington
has a very remarkable specimen discover
ed in Mexico in 100, which, according to
an Indian tradition, fell 200 years before
that, during shower of stones. 1ts
weight is 400 pounds. There are over
100 specimens in Yale college museum,
one weighing 1886 pounds. During the
present century aerolites have been care
fully studied and analysed. and indeed,
aside from the general outside appearance
by which they are readily recognized by
an expert, chemical analysis is the one
sure test by which they can be distin-
guished in doubtful cases. In many cases
they are largely composed of iron, and
from one which fell in Mexico sword
blade was made, which was once in the
possession of Gen. Ord of the United
States army.
The origin of these mysterious visitors
has been widely discussed, but never
thoroughly explained. OF the various
theories there are two which attract the
most belief One that space is filled with
floating masses and that our aeroltes are
that portion of them that comes within
the sphere of the earth's attraction. The
other is that they are projected from
the sun and other planets by the incon
ceivably tremendous forces at work there
A few years ago some excitement wal
created by the claim of a German scientis
that he had discovered traces of ANNA
life in an aerolite, but this was never con

The butter market has maintained q fairly

been developed, and a few fancy brands OF
creamery have been placed in round lots at
20 cents per pound, but for the bulk of the
fresh stock Offering "A to % cents is still top
rate. On these upper grades there has been a
good trade, though perhaps not as large as
might reasonably be expected in September.
In job lots the finest creamery is moving off
pretty well at 20 to % cents per pound. New
York and Vermont dairy lots are in steady
request at % to % cents for extra and 10 to q
cents for good to choice. Fine selections in a
small way command "a to % cents. In fact, at
the difference in price, fine dairy is taken in
preference to creamery, and receipts are kept
well cleaned up.
The bean market maintains a strong tone
and receipts are barely enough to supply the
demand. Best small pea command $3.50, and
some sales run up to $3.50 per bushel.
A firmer tone has been developed in the egg

Parnell Show. it to Be a Forgery

LONDON, April 1S.-Mr. Parnell in an in- terview with the London representative of the United Press this evening pointed out that although at first sight some of the letters composing the signature to the ''fac -simile" letter published in the Times this morning appeared to resemble those which he habit ually formed in writing his autograph, 8 close inspection and comparison of the for gery with his genuine signature showed de- cided and striking difference in many impor- tant points. In the first place, said MT.
 Parnell, the writing of the forgery slopes upwards, while the genuine signature slopes downwards. Then there are other points of difference which are to be readily perceived. For instance, invariably place full stop after the initial letter "S.," which you will observe is omitted from the for. gery, and the "r" in "Parnell'
 and the stC," beginning the abbreviation ''Chas ," are totally different from anything l that have ever written in penning my name
 to anything. .:seN Nereover, the "eh" in | "Chas." is abnormally long and in forma-

 W. S. Wells Paper on Personal Rem
 Infscences Of the Navy During the
 Late War-Tribute to Two New Ha.
 ven Men.
 MT. W. s. Wells, the wholesale coal mer- chant, read an interesting and valuable pa per before the Historical society last night. The unpleasant weather interfered with the attendance. but those present were not sorry they braved the wintry turn of the weather. MT. Wells, who was in the United States navy as an officer in the late war. gave to the audience some of his personal "reminiscences of the war. He said the navy got far less notice than the army, but that was because they had few newspaper reporters along.
 December 19, 1862, Mr.Wells was assigned to duty by Hon. "Gid' Welles to the New Ironsides at Hampton Roads. The Ironsides was the first heavily arnored broadside iron clad ever built and she performed more reli- able and continuously effective service than any other floating battery ever built. Of course the Monitors single great work stands far pre- eminent, but the speaker referred to continuous work. The record of the New Irensides stood to-day, in respect to the num- Der of combats in the late war, far ahead of any other craft.
 Mr. Wells described his emotions and cu- riosity on first viewing the victorious Moni- tor, the then new departure in warfare, and then paid fine tribute to c. s. Bushnell, by whose zeal, energy and patriotism it was built, and to N. D. Sperry and Daniel Drew, who signed as sureties for its construction. To these gentlemen great was the debt owed by the nation.
 Mir. Wells recited vividly and in pictur- esque terms the happenings when his ship was ordered South, and some of it's various rough and thrilling experiences of the war. He said he is truly grateful that his war ex- periences should have been on board this un- justly neglected but grand and now historic vessel. Admiral Forbes confirmed what he had related of the Ironsides last week in Washington, and voluntarily so, on his visit to that city with the monument committee from this city. He stated she was the finest and most admirable and efficient ship that existed at that time; that the only mistake was that the navy did not have twenty like her during the war. After Mr. Wells concluded Comrade Brown said he heartily endorsed all that the l speaker had said and to ask Mr. Wells at some | future time to relate the incidents connected with the siege of Charleston, as seen by him 1 from his vessel It was voted to ask MT | Wells to do so, and vote of thanks was | also voted to him for the reading of his ex \ cellent paper last night.
